Former commandery with castle, church and outbuildings

The complex includes a central castle structure, a church dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, and multiple outbuildings arranged around a central courtyard.

The Teutonic Knights received this property in 1226 from King Henry and Emperor Frederick II, leading to a twenty-year legal dispute over ownership.

The buildings demonstrate architectural evolution through different periods, incorporating Romanesque elements from the 11th century and later modifications until the 18th century.

Located at Muhlernstrasse 1-11 in Köniz, the site contains multiple structures including the Kornhaus from 1724 and the Haberhaus dating to 1607.

Archaeological excavations revealed remains of an early medieval church beneath the current structure, indicating religious activity predating the commandery.
